Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The property is being sold through a judicial auction, which is a decisive risk for a buyer seeking a straightforward home purchase. Although the 126 m² house appears generally habitable at €71,240 (€565/m²), the auction status overrides its otherwise reasonable condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, roofed and apparently usable two-level home with working utilities, heating, air conditioning, a garage, balcony, and a private court. Its central village location and 25% auction discount add practical appeal, but the photos show dated, ordinary interiors rather than distinctive Italian character or a memorable setting.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €14,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Auction purchase with possible legal, occupancy, and procedural risks.
- Interiors are functional but dated and visually ordinary, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- The listing claims a private court, but the photos do not clearly show a usable garden or attractive outdoor setting.
- Bathroom information is inconsistent between the facts and the detailed description; verify the actual layout and condition.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
